It is exactly that. Content-type: text/html Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly. This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive.
For more information as to why this behaviour exists, see the manual page for CGI security. For more information about changing this behaviour or re-enabling this webserver, consult the installation file that came with this distribution, or visit the manual page. I've tried changing the PHP.ini setting cgi.force_redirect to off, 0, no and any other negative thing I could think of to no avail "Stig S.

This now brings up a > security error and I cannot find a solution The CLI version of PHP is not designed to be run from a web server like this. If anything, you can write CGI scripts with it, where you have to import the environment variables yourself (sounds silly doesn't it? :). The security error you're getting is probably related to force-redirect, could you provide the error message? - Stig -- Stig Sæther Bakken, Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Trondheim, Norway http://pear.php.net/wishlist.php/ssb -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
